"y/n there was an accident." hearing that made you tighten the grip on your phone.
although your grip was tight, your hands were clammy.
it felt as though you were trying to swallow a rock.
the room suddenly felt too small.
it felt as if i was in slow motion.
"what do you mean, an accident?" joanna didn't answer right away.
and somehow, the silence was worse.
“joanna?” you repeated, your voice barely above a whisper.
your heart hammering so hard against your ribs, it felt as if your heart was trying to leave your body.
“what do you mean there was an accident? is beau okay?”
you pushed yourself to your feet so fast the room spun.
“I—” her voice cracked. “y/n, beau and my dad were driving home and there was black ice on the road.”
the blood drained from your face.
it couldn’t be true not your beau.
“no,” you said again, shaking your head even though she couldn’t see you.
“joanna, put beau on the phone.”
“joanna please, i need to hear his voice.”
“i need to know he’s okay” you said, practically begging for anything to come out her mouth.
“we don’t know-” her voice cracked before she could even continue her sentence.
“please.” you say sobbing,tears flowing down your face, your throat feeling like it was practically closing up, it felt as if you were drowning.
not being able to stand still for answers any longer you started grabbing your keys, making your way to the front door.
“we don’t know.” she choked out “the doctors are with him, they’re not saying anything”
she tells you the name of the hospital, immediately you remember the name. closing the door behind you, locking it shut. your knees feeling as if they were about to give out, you close your eyes leaning against the door hoping for some sort of support, praying that he was okay.
“no. no he’s okay. i know he’s okay. he has to be okay.”
“y/n…” at that point you had practically started racing down the stairs towards your car, feeling as if your body was moving without you.
“they’re helping him?” “right?” you ask her basically pleading for her to say that that was exactly what was happening.
“that’s what they’re trying to do.”
you take off practically as soon as you hear the soft him of your engine start, you end the call forgetting to even say bye to her.
speeding out the parking lot, your speedometer climbing higher and higher as you gripped the steering wheel.
streetlights blurred past the windows.
pressing harder on your gas pedal, feeling as if your heart was matching the pace of your car.
the road stretched endlessly ahead of you.
those 3 words repeated in your head like a prayer.
you drove with tears streaming down your face.
your mind felt as if it was replaying every moment with him, like it was selfishly reminding you of what you would lose if you lost him.
reaching the hospital you practically jump out the car, your legs moving faster than your mind.
you barely remembered parking.
it felt as though a second ago you were behind the wheel, and the next you were pushing your way through the hospital’s automatic doors.
you could hear your heart pounding.
as soon as you make your way to the front desk you’re out of breath, feeling as if you had just ran a marathon.
the nurse at the front desk patiently waits for you to get your words out with a look of sympathy on her face.
just as you’re about to ask her for directions you hear a familiar voice.
“y/n!” someone yells, you quickly turn your head to the voice, spotting joanna you quickly sprint towards her.
as you reach her she pulls you in for a hug.
“we’re just waiting to hear from the doctors.” she says softly.
feeling relief and a slight bit of comfort, you completely fall apart in her arms. sobbing like a toddler that just got told no by their mother.
she guides you towards the waiting room and sits you down. stroking your hair, to calm you down while also trying to do the same.
your sobs slowly turned into soft cries, you feel your phone start to buzz, pulling your phone out your pocket you scan the the caller id.
seeing the name dean di laurentis instantly brings back more tears, you turn towards jonna.
“can you please telling him, i won’t be able to, i can’t.” you say feeling as if the sobbing would start again.
“ofcource, go get yourself something to calm your nerves, i’ll be back” she says and leaves to take the call.
joanna answers not even getting a word in dean starts talking.
“beau said he would call when he gets home and i’m guessing once he saw you he lost his memory and ability to think” dean said teasingly
“we were supposed to-” dean said before he was cut off by the sound of joannas voice.
“dean” joanna said while her lip began to quiver.
something in her voice made his stomach drop.
not even bothering to ask where y/n was, he immediately asked, “what’s wrong?”
“dean there was an accident”
you sit with a bottle of water, not being able to stomach anything.
joanna comes back in with slow tears rolling down her face, you hug her while thanking her for talking to dean.
as she’s telling you about her conversation with dean you see a doctor walk in. tapping her to get her attention she turns around to look at what grabbed your attention, seeing the doctor she grabs your hand keeping it.
the doctors expression was calm but serious.
rhe doctor took a breath.
“when the paramedics arrived, beau’s condition was critical. at one point, his heart stopped beating.”
the room felt like it was tilting beneath you feet, you head spinning as if you had just came off a rollercoaster.
“they were able to restart his heart, and he’s currently stable. right now, that’s the important thing.”
“so he’s alive?” you ask the doctor.
the doctor diverts his attention from joanna to you.
“yes. he’s alive. but the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours will be important while we continue to monitor him closely.”
your knees feeling weak you sank down back into your chair, overwhelmed with relief, pain and fear all at once.
that thought alone made you feel as if your breath was taken away. you were so gone in thought you hadn’t even realised the doctor was still talking.
joanna finishes up the conversation with the doctor. once the doctor leaves she returns to her seat next to you.
“dean should be here soon, do you wanna wait to hear what’s going on with beau?”
just as you’re about to tell her that you couldn’t wait any longer. the sound of sneakers running through the hospital catches your attention. looking up you see dean and allie.
you stand up as dean pulls you into a hug. allie hugs joanna then patiently waits for her turn to hug you aswell.
as allie hugs you, you breakdown yet again.
“it’s okay babe, we’re here.”
you all take a seat and before you can ask joanna to tell you what the doctor said dean beats you to it.
you learn to find out that beau has a concussion that the doctor said requires monitoring, a broken arm, collarbone, and aswell as a few broken ribs. with that a few days in the hospital for observation.
you sit quietly feeling numb inside but grateful that you now know he is going to be okay, so far in your mind you don’t even notice joanna leaving to the cafeteria and hannah, garret,logan and tucker arriving.
hannah smiles softly see you zone out and reaches to touch your shoulder, you flinch as you don’t realise the waiting room is now filled with all your friends.
hannahs look at you with concern on her face
“i’ll get there.” you say trying to put a soft smile on your face but miserably failing.
joanna comes back with food, offering you a sandwich you politely decline. logan chimes in to try and help.
“come on, even if it’s a smile bite, you don’t want beau to kill us for not taking care of his girl right?” logan says trying to lighten up your mood.
you give him a small smile while taking the sandwich turning your attention to joanna to thank her.
hours pass and your friends leave, making you promise to call if you get updates. leaving just yourself, dean, allie and joanna.
eventually a nurse walks in.
you shot up from your seat, the nurse looks at you with a smile.
beau tried to sit up the second he opened his eyes.
“easy,” the nurse said, gently pushing him back against the pillows.
the nurse checked his monitors, trying to ignore the stubborn look on his face.
“mr. maxwell, you’ve been through a serious accident, you need rest.”
“you need to stay in bed.”
“just let me see her or atleast tell me if she’s okay.”
the desperation in his voice made the nurse pause.
“who are you looking for?”
beau’s eyes immediately filled with relief.
“my girlfriend, just ask for y/n.”
“the doctor hasn’t cleared visitors yet.”
he closed his eyes for a moment, frustration washing over him.
the word came out rough and broken.
“please, just for a minute.”
“I’ll see what I can do.”
“normally we let the family see the patient first but he was so eager too see you” the nurse said with a soft smile.
with that she guides you towards his room.
you opened the door slowly not knowing what to expect.
when you walk in you look immediately at beau, taking in the state he’s in with what looked like a hundred machines around him. tears immediately forming in your eyes.
beau’s head turned immediately.
the moment he saw her standing there, his girl, his everything.
everything else seemed to just fade, like it never happened.
tears filled his eyes before he could stop them.
you let out a shaky laugh.
your voice said with a crack.
“that’s all you’ve got after scaring me half to death?”
tears started rolling down your face, he was actually okay.
it felt as if someone had taken a weight off your shoulders.
“please don’t cry baby” he said as tears started rolling down his face aswell
“i’m just so glad you’re okay, i was so scared beau.”
he shifted to the side so that there was a spot next to him on the hospital bed, biting his lip from the pain it caused.
“beau you’re fresh out of surgery.” you said with a soft smile.
“like i told the nurse i don’t care, come baby.”
“you’ll tell me if i hurt you?”
“yes, just please lay with me” beau said practically pleading you.
you walk towards the hospital bed and slowly lay down, being careful so you don’t hurt him.
he turns his head towards you and gestures for you to come closer.
as you come closer he leans in and slowly starts to kiss you starting from the bottom of your ear making your eyes flutter close, moving from your ear to your jaw, your cheek and your nose and then finally you feel his soft lips against yours, giving you a sweet but gentle kiss. he pulls away and looks at you with a smile.
“when i felt the impact-” he cuts himself off as he feels his voice crack.
you look at him with tears falling down your face.
“when i felt the impact, all i could think of was you, how much i love you and how much i need you.”
you gently grab his jaw, pressing a soft kiss on his lips.
“you’re my everything y/n/n, i can’t picture a life without you in it, i wanna spend eternity with you.”
with that he kisses your forehead staring deeply into your eyes, he has this sleep dazed look, but at the same time his pupils were so dilated you couldn’t tell if it was love in his eyes or the meds in his system. after noticing you couldn’t help but giggle.
“nothing beau, i just love you”
“i love you too baby, always and forever.”
for the first time since the accident, everything feels okay.
and with Beau beside you, it feels like it always will be.
